The city unfolds below him, a living thing stitched from neon and shadow, its rhythm carried

on the hum of distant engines and the flicker of dying signs. Leo does not stir. He does not

need to. His body is carved from stillness, his breath a slow tide pulling in cold air thick with

exhaust and rust. Beneath him, the streets breathe in jerks—taxi lights slicing fog, figures

moving like ghosts bound by unseen demands, the glint of a stolen timepiece beneath a

broken sign that once promised SWEET DREAMS in cracked red. He sees it all. Not as a man

but as a witness shaped by silence, his eyes the only pulse in the hush.
